context_page_description: The Bianchi Cup is the NRA National Action Pistol Championship, a major action pistol tournament usually held over three days in late May, in Columbia, Missouri, at the Green Valley Rifle & Pistol Club. It has the largest purse of any tournament on the action pistol calendar and is the premier action pistol championship tournament in the world. The Bianchi Cup is the only major shooting tournament that has retained its original course of fire since its inception.
  It is one of the most prestigious events in shooting, with the best shooters in the world in competition each May in Missouri. Due to the high accuracy required in each stage, the tournament is widely considered one of the most difficult championships in all of the shooting sports.
